The Three Voices Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAB DEDEFE AAGAAA AHAHIH AJKJLJThe waves have a story to tell me | A |
As I lie on the lonely beach | B |
Chanting aloft in the pine tops | C |
The wind has a lesson to teach | B |
But the stars sing an anthem of glory | A |
I cannot put into speech | B |
- | |
The waves tell of ocean spaces | D |
Of hearts that are wild and brave | E |
Of populous city places | D |
Of desolate shores they lave | E |
Of men who sally in quest of gold | F |
To sink in an ocean grave | E |
- | |
The wind is a mighty roamer | A |
He bids me keep me free | A |
Clean from the taint of the gold lust | G |
Hardy and pure as he | A |
Cling with my love to nature | A |
As a child to the mother knee | A |
- | |
But the stars throng out in their glory | A |
And they sing of the God in man | H |
They sing of the Mighty Master | A |
Of the loom his fingers span | H |
Where a star or a soul is a part of the whole | I |
And weft in the wondrous plan | H |
- | |
Here by the camp fire's flicker | A |
Deep in my blanket curled | J |
I long for the peace of the pine gloom | K |
When the scroll of the Lord is unfurled | J |
And the wind and the wave are silent | L |
And world is singing to world | J |
